Our mission is to empower others to live in joy and purpose, guided by God’s love as we care and serve. We recognize that people are the noblest created beings, and therefore we respect and treat each person with dignity regardless of their needs.
What it reported doing in 2025
Independent living at goodwill is a retirement village that offers opportunity for active lifestyle without the responsibility of home maintenance. The village consists of 30 cottages with one and two bedroom designs available. Each of these modern residence features a private connected garage, handicap accessible features and fully furnished appliances and utilities. The contracts offer use of the nursing home if the resident becomes incapacitated.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Earned-program. 99% of the money available for current operations came from fees and other program revenue.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. Few specific pay-setting methods are documented in the filing; unanswered boxes are not proof of absence and expenses are high relative to revenue.
